I believe this is a good representation of what black people would be living in during the
great depression. During the great depression there were few jobs and the most of the
people who had jobs white. Most of the African Americans were living in shacks like this
or living on the streets with only little income.

This picture is a picture of a group guys who are pushing car because they couldn't get it
started. this picture was taken in Greensboro Alabama. People i the south were normally
poor and couldn't afford to pay for the luxuries like getting your car fixed.

This is a photo of a guy in Greensboro standing outside a grocery store. this store is the
McCollun Grocery co. and the guy standing out side looks like a moonshiner from the south.
he could have been a wealthy plantation owner who owned the store based off his clothing.
This photo was taken in 1936 in the summer.

This picture looks like too Africa American people in the south talking. the picture shows how all the people knew
each other. Also i think that the women with the box on her head is carrying food to her family that she may have
trader for with the man. i am wonder what is in the can that the women has in her hand.

This time period was maninly based off of the hard working and long working hours for little pay. when people would work they would earn their pay because they were doing hard labor intensive jobs like stone masons and iron workers for example Chris Thorsten was a iron worker who was crushed by a crane and was out of work, Then there is a man named Mr. Garavaelli who was fortunit enough to not get silica from the cement mix.
